This kit of accessories extends the use of the Rotary Motion sensor and comprises:
- Pendulum with 2 adjustable ring masses
- 25cm Linear Rack which allows for the accurate measurement of linear displacement. It can be used with the Light sensor and Laser module in Young’s single and double slit experiments. Useful too for plotting field strength versus distance with the Magnetic Field sensor.
- 2 discs for studying angular momentum
More information can be found in the comprehensive 8 page manual.
Investigations:
